Max-T Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey guys, I recently acquired the Music Machine 12" vinyl at a thrift store. Both the vinyl itself and its jacket, the mini-comic book inside the gatefold and a loose, double-sided B/W advertising insert for "The Agapeland Series" are in as close to mint condition as any record of that age which I own. It looks practially brand-new save for a set of fingerprints on one side of the vinyl and the usual smattering of dust. I know that the Music Machine record was sold at Christian stores separately from the game, so I am guessing that many, many more of the vinyl copies exist now than do the carts. The MM game has a 10 rarity rating here, so that seems very likely... So, my question is, does the MM vinyl have any worth beyond your average 30+ year old album? Since they were sold separately from the game carts, I can imagine that there may be some owners of the carts who do not have the vinyl, or that some may possess ones of lower quality to the one I just found. I paid 50 cents for it at Goodwill, and if it is only worth half a dollar, I'll keep it -- I and my brother had a (considerably scratched-up) copy of the album when we were kids. If it's worthless I'll simply keep it as nostalgia. Thanks in advance for any advice you might have. I've been away from the Atari scene for a few years, and it's cool to dip my toe back in. You all have been very helpful to me in the past, and I thank you for your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I don't think they really have much (if any) value. I have one myself that I picked up hoping it was tied to the game but I don't think collectors as a whole really care much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I purchased one to go with my Music Machine cart. I believe I paid $8 on atari2600.com. Edited October 2, 2013 by atari181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
